Forget the Golden Ball for Muller, I just saw that he didn't even make the short list, which is wrong IMO. FYI and this is what the announcers said during today's game, if the goal tallies end up tied for the Golden Boot, they use most assists as the tie breaker and Muller leads in that stat.

Yeah, I know if everything stands he is the Golden Boot winner. Where is the list for Golden Ball finalists?

IMO, Kuyt should be on that list before Robben.

Interesting article: http://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKTRE6690V920100710?rpc=401&feedType=RSS&feedName=lifestyleMolt
I always knew Spain was divided with Madrid/Spain and Barcelona/Catalonia but had no clue it was THIS bad. Also goes to show why Barcelona vs Real Madrid is the biggest rivalry in (non-international) sports.
